Comments (6)sorry ladies - this was not an advert -- I don't sell the products, just buy them. wanted to share some knowledge on the two systems. I did not realize you did not share knowledge on this site, sharing where I had bought was no different than mentioning Joann's or some other large store. many people in Canada do not know where these machines can be checked out and I appreciated when I read on this site about the above store months ago. That was the way I was introduced....See Morehot tub seating QUESTION. pros/cons to full circle vs 3/4 seatin
Comments (7)Stupid, stupid, stupid... the new code and the fasct that your PB did not inform you of this during the design stage. My PB put the two drains on the bottoms of the sides, therefore getting the required 3 feet of space between them. If you want the extra seating, and why wouldn't you, then have him do this. The disadvantage to this is that in order to fully drain the tub, you have to manually do something to suck out the last 2 or 3 inches of water. And the drains do not suck up anything that is not floating w/in the water column, so you have to vacuum the tub floor more often to get rid of the heavy dirt....See MoreLooking for pro/con advice on insta/hot & soap dispenser & dispos
Comments (9)Such a personal preference question I think. But I'll tell you why I am getting the instahot. I currently have a hot water dispenser on my counter which I have used tonnes. I got one from my MIL who was downsizing, thought I'd bring it out when she came to visit and put it away in between. Then I found it super useful so when the one she gave me broke I went out and bought another. I guess we use a fair bit of hot water in my house! So the instahot will get one more bulky appliance off my counters. Regarding some of the other responses - my instahot will be filtered before it is heated. I thought that was pretty standard? I guess it depends on how much filtration you need/want. Might not be able to get the best of filtration but it's good enough for me and our water. And the hot water from the instahot is very near boiling. But not boiling, just almost boiling. So if you need it really boiling then a kettle is still the way to go. A downside might be the potential for scalding ... so I'm having a valve installed by the plumber so I can switch it off when my kids are playing at the sink. A bit of a pain until they're old enough to be trusted at the sink but worth it for my peace of mind. It might not be an issue for you, but you wanted both pros and cons right?! I pondered the soap dispenser and never MT. I think they're great, but I decided I didn't want so many things cluttering my sink since the instahot will be there already. On a day to day basis there will be clutter. My house is lived in and the kitchen gets tonnes of use so on a day to day basis the dish and hand soap will both be out. But I wanted to be able to put those away for a cleaner and less cluttered look when/if I want to. Also, unless you have mostly plastic in the soap dispensing guts there can be corrosion of the metal parts from the added antibacterial agents and perfumes/colours in the soap. I've found that on my countertop soap dispenser in my MB - mostly aesthetically dis-pleasing so I haven't replaced it yet. It probably isn't too much of an issue since tonnes of people use them on the kitchen sinks. So for me I would have probably done the soap dispenser if I wasn't already doing the instahot. I just don't want so much stuff being permanently attached to the back of my sink. In regards to the disposal there are tonnes of interesting and varied opinions in the link you've already been given. I won't bother repeating it all again! HTH!...See MoreWhat are your plans for 2018?
Comments (39)I said I am done ordering, but I keep on adding. Ordered some Comfrey from Etsy. Not native, but I read it is high in nectar and that bumblebees love it, so I will give it a try. I planted big leaf mountain mint last year. It has grown a lot, but it seems to stay in a nice clump. The spearmint I have has runners all over and I can’t get rid of it. I also have about a hundred Frostweed seedlings coming up. Not sure what to do about that. I also have bronze fennel and whorled milkweed coming up in the weirdest places. My sister in law already came with her wheelbarrow and shovel to dig things up and a friend of my daughter’s picked up a trunk full of plants. My walkway is still lined with pots (everything from ashy sunflower, different rudbeckia, fennel, “Hula Dancer” cone flower, blanket flowers , penstemon and so on), ready to go to a new home. Sadly most of the neighbors don’t plant more than a few Lillies or petunias around the mailbox. Otherwise I could just cart the plants to the curb with a “Free to good home” sign. ....See Moretrickyputt
